> widely documented disparities in how US law-enforcement agencies treat people of different races and ethnicities

Citation needed, particularly for Nature. As far as I can tell the supposed disparities are explained by the amount of violent crime the race and ethnicity commits (leading to more police interactions), but it's impolite to bring that up.

Would you also like a citation for the statement "racism exists"? There are some truths that are so plainly obvious and supported by mountains of data that it's absurd to demand a citation for them.

Part of maintaining these systems of white supremacy involves firstly disbelieving that such paradigms exist, and then secondly putting the labor of "proof" on the marginalized communities and their allies.

Part of maintaining the lie of "white supremacy" is never being very concrete, just ejecting dissenters with this weird homework assignment, or if pressed, handwave everything away with vague allusions to the unfalsifiable "systemic racism."

If the rare skeptic persists at this point you can now label them a "white supremacist," having conveniently shifted the goalposts on that term so that they are now an irredeemable racist, and proceed to burn their existence to the ground and salt the earth.
